Person listening to music on a laptop

With a handful of universities in the UK starting to use iTunes U for delivering their audio and video productions online, Barry Cornelius from Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS) has shared this account of Oxford University's use of iTunes U. Oxford started using iTunes U in October 2008 and now hosts links to a wealth of audio and video resources, the most popular ones being downloaded 2500 times a week!

This paper, Time for iTunes U, is from a presentation given in July this year and covers all the aspects of using iTunes U, including copyright issues, iTunes functionality and optimising delivery and has information on creating a workflow for producing online content. An essential read for anyone considering using iTunes U.
